Find Chesterfield County Detention Center Releases

Detention Center Release Destinations

The Chesterfield County Detention Center is the primary county jail. Its release entry is the first documentary source for a person arrested and released locally. Bond, time served, a completed local sentence, or a dismissal-related authority may lead to community release. A transfer entry means something else: county custody ended, but another agency took control.

Ask for the effective release time, the disposition, and the receiving agency when one is recorded. A court order may authorize bond before jail processing is complete. Another charge, warrant, detainer, or unmet condition can intervene. The strongest confirmation is the facility's own custody-ending event connected to the correct booking number.

Confirm Detention Center Releases

The Sheriff's Booking Records Requests page says booking records are not immediately available online. Its telephone channel at 843-623-3385 concerns possible arrests during the preceding 12 hours. It is not a release list. The current main Detention Center number is 843-623-2261. Use that number to ask whether the record shows continued custody, release, or transfer.

1. Confirm the South Carolina jurisdiction and gather the full name, booking or case number, and relevant dates.
2. Ask the jail for the maintained release entry, including time, disposition, and receiving agency.
3. Search the Chesterfield Public Index for bond, sentence, dismissal, and later case events.
4. If state custody followed, use the current SCDC portal rather than treating the county exit as community release.
5. Use a narrow FOIA request when informal access does not produce the existing release document.

Detention Center Records Contact

The county Magistrate page places both the Detention Center and Bond Court at the Goodale Road address. The Sheriff's Association also publishes the main detention number. No official source in the research set gives public release-processing hours, an exit door, property-return steps, or a web retention window, so those details should be confirmed by phone.

For booking reports in a specified timeframe, the Sheriff directs visitors to the facility during business hours. State FOIA provides a written fallback. Describe an existing booking report, release sheet, log entry, or jail-management entry rather than asking staff to build a new list.

Detention Center Bond Court Timing

Bond Court sits at the facility. Published weekday settings are 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Weekend settings run from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. and at 5:00 p.m.; holiday hours vary. A setting is the time for a hearing, not a promised release time.

After a bond decision, payment or other conditions, warrants, holds, and jail processing can affect the exit. If the Public Index shows bond but the person has not appeared, call the facility and ask whether the conditions were satisfied and whether another custodian is involved. Request the actual release timestamp instead of converting the hearing time into an estimated departure.

The official Detention Center and Bond Court capture ties the court schedule to the correct South Carolina facility.

It helps explain the legal step, while the jail record remains the proof of physical release or transfer.

Detention Releases to ICE Custody

A local exit can be only a handoff point. ICE describes a detainer as a request for impending-release notice and up to 48 hours of additional local holding so ICE may assume custody. A record stating that the person left Chesterfield County Detention Center does not by itself establish a return to the community.

Ask the facility whether the release disposition names ICE or another receiver. The ICE Online Detainee Locator is aimed at current qualifying ICE or longer-term CBP custody. Its name route uses exact name, country of birth, and optional birth date; the number route uses a nine-digit A-number and country. A negative result can reflect scope, timing, or an identifier mismatch and is not proof of release.

Two Chesterfield Facility Names

The statewide jail administrators directory separately lists Chesterfield County Detention Center and Chesterfield County Work Camp. Both use 319 Goodale Road and share fax 843-623-2088, but the Work Camp has a separate published telephone number, 843-623-7234. This supports two record routes by facility name.

It does not support claims of separate campuses, public databases, or release desks. State the known placement when requesting a record. A generic county-jail inquiry can be routed incorrectly when the maintained record belongs to the Work Camp. The Chesterfield County released inmate search compares all county, state, supervision, federal, and immigration channels.

Detention Center Release Record Fields

Chesterfield County has not published a standard online release screen, so no fixed display fields can be promised. A precise request should identify the existing record and list the facts needed to distinguish the custody event. The most useful items are the full name, booking number, admission date and time, release date and time, release disposition or authority, charges, bond information, court or sentence reference, and any receiving agency.

Ask separately for a maintained booking photograph when identity confirmation requires it. No online photo field or county release-gallery feature was verified. Access can be limited by exemptions, redaction, juvenile law, sealing, or expungement. The absence of a photo does not change the meaning of the written release entry.

Detention Center FOIA Requests

South Carolina FOIA provides a formal route when an existing release record is not supplied informally. Section 30-4-30(D)(3) makes documents identifying people confined in a jail, detention center, or prison during the preceding three months available for in-person inspection during business hours, unless exempt. That provision is an immediate inspection category, not the Detention Center's full retention schedule and not a guarantee that every requested field will be released.

Chesterfield County accepts requests by email at FOIA@chesterfieldcountysc.com or by mail to Chesterfield County Administration, Attn. Susie Boswell, Clerk to Council, 178 Mill Street, Chesterfield, SC 29709. The help number is 843-623-2535. The county schedule effective June 1, 2026 states a $5 minimum, actual qualifying staff time, page and storage charges, postage, and a 25 percent deposit for estimates of $100 or more.

Keep the wording narrow: identify Chesterfield County Detention Center, the person or exact date range, and the existing release entry or log sought. List the release timestamp, disposition, booking number, and receiver if maintained. Asking staff to create an analysis of everyone released is different from asking for a record the county already holds. A narrow request also makes it easier to compare any redaction or omission with the court file.

Reconcile Detention Center Release Records

Three records answer different parts of a Chesterfield County custody question. The Detention Center entry establishes the physical exit. The court docket records bond, plea, sentence, dismissal, warrants, and later motions. A receiving or supervising agency explains what happened after the handoff. Treat a conflict as a cue to check dates and identifiers, not as permission to choose one source and ignore the others.

Update timing helps explain some mismatches. The SCDC current portal is a previous-midnight snapshot and does not include released people or county detainees. SCDPPPS community-supervision data reflects the previous day. VINELink depends on information sent by a participating custodian, and official Chesterfield jail participation was not independently confirmed. A court order may appear before release processing is complete.

If the county entry names SCDC, search the current state portal while the person remains incarcerated. Once SCDC custody ends, use its separate Released Inmate Search rather than the current portal. If the record names another local or federal agency, move to that custodian's records. This sequence preserves the difference between leaving the Chesterfield County Detention Center and leaving custody altogether.

Confirm the South Carolina Detention Center

Searches for Chesterfield frequently surface Chesterfield County, Virginia. Those pages describe different agencies, facilities, and release programs. A valid local source should identify South Carolina, use the Chesterfield County or Sheriff domain, connect to the South Carolina Judicial Branch, or otherwise establish the SC location. The Goodale Road address and 843 telephone numbers are useful checks.

The Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Campbell Streater and is listed at 203 Watson Street, while the Detention Center is at 319 Goodale Road. Those addresses serve different routing purposes. Use the Detention Center contact for the immediate custody record and county FOIA when a formal records request is needed. Do not send a South Carolina jail question to a Virginia agency because the county names match.
